"The Last of Us" PC Port Woes: Updates and Fixes

The Last of Us Part I Remake's PC port has been poorly optimized, resulting in crashes, absurd shader compilation times, and bizarre bugs. The game has received mostly negative reviews on Steam, prompting Naughty Dog to issue a rare mea culpa and promise to address the issues in upcoming patches. The studio has also released a small initial patch to fix some issues, but larger fixes are still needed. Until significant fixes are made, it is not recommended to buy the game on Steam for $60 or attempt to make it work effectively on Steam Deck.
